By the time You get to My answer You will no doubt have been insulted enough for one day.
"PA" is the equivalent to the old "Fiscal Period" reference that some companies still use in The U.S.of A. The figure advertised is in Aus$ which equal approximately US$0.80. You have not stated whether if is "Gross" (Before), or "Net" (After) Tax. I would imagine that is is the "top rate" of the Salary available on offer.
I can not help You too much with information about Perth, Western Australia, but I will give You the sites for data about Sydney, New South Wales, for use as a comparison.
Go to the following sites to find out more information about Sydney.

P A is per Annum or per year :) depending on where in Australia this is a very good wage. Sydney is the most expensive city for cost of living though, hope this helps

PA per annum - yearly
sounds good enough for me. Australia you will love living here not sooooo busy and chaotic like US.

HaHa!!!!! Many Many years ago I was in the process of being interviewed for a position within the Govt? I was what some would of considered back then as a "shoe in" the Dept. head asked at the end if I had any questions and I replied with the following, Do you all do anything important here?" needless to say.. I wasn't selected.. but then again... I really didn't want that job.. anyway.. but thought being interviewed would be lots of fun and educational..

It's a Latin phrase meaning:
per annum (p.a.) "through a year"
Thus, "yearly"—occurring every year.
So you're talking about $100,000 yearly salary.
per = for each; for every.
annum = (Latin) year.
Yes, you should take a $100,000 a year job, no worries.
You'd live very well on that amount of money.
I think Australia is a fantastic place, but I'm biased.

PA stands for per annum, meaning per year.
Perth is not as expensive as Sydney or Melbourne, it's a comfortable salary, keep in mind that this is gross income before tax.

This is referring to PA - per annum
and to cover off any confusion, this does not also mean 'physicions assistant' in Australia, it means "Personal Assistant'

PA stands for 'per annum', with 'annum' being Latin for 'year'...so it's how much you'll get paid, before tax, per year.

It's per annum and it's a reasonable wedge depending on what you do ?
